Oral cancer, also known as oral cavity cancer, tongue cancer, or mouth cancer, is a cancer of the lining of the lips, mouth, or upper throat. In the mouth it most commonly starts as a painless red or white patch that thickens, ulcerates, and continues to grow. Risk factors include tobacco and alcohol use, and those who use both have about fifteen times greater risk than those who use neither.
